Lokman Hossain Mia appointed as the new secretary to the Health Services Division

The government has appointed Lokman Hossain Mia as the secretary to the Health Services Division in the latest reshuffle in the civil administration.

Lokman Hossain, who was the secretary to the Ministry of Textiles and Jute, will replace Md Abdul Mannan with the same post.

The Ministry of Public Administration issued a gazette in this regard on Sunday, just a few days after Mannan tested positive for Covid-19.

Mannan, who was appointed as the secretary to the Health Services Division in June last year, has been transferred to the Ministry of Textiles and Jute.

Besides, the government also transferred Md Mokabbir Hossain, chairman (secretary) of the Land Appeal Board at Land Ministry, to the Security Services Division at the Home Ministry.

The orders will come into effect immediately, the gazette said.
